Chapter 142: Chapter 141: Seeking, Battle, and Shame

“I hope all of you on Earth can give me an exhilarating battle!”

After speaking, Zhang Kuang seemed ready to make a move.

“Stop!”

Su Qiangwei promptly said, “You just mentioned you unified Cangming Star, so… do you know someone named Seven Vortex Sword Master Lin Qiubai?”

Seven Vortex Sword Master, Lin Qiubai.

Upon hearing this name, the flames of battle intent blazed fiercely in Zhang Kuang’s eyes: “How could I not know?”

“I pierced through the Space Gate to come to Earth just to find Lin Qiubai!”

“Do you know where he is?”

“That’s great!”

Su Qiangwei did not give an immediate answer.

In her mind, thoughts flickered incessantly like electric fire stones.

First of all, abilities like [Lie Detection] and [Impression Label] were completely ineffective against Zhang Kuang!

This circumstance had only appeared once with Lin Qiubai.

So…

Su Qiangwei couldn’t be 100% certain if what the other person said was true or false, or if he truly came from Cangming Star.

What if this guy was actually a White Mane Star person in disguise?

After all, the mastermind behind the scenes, who called himself “Supreme Efficiency,” also collected a lot of intelligence related to Lin Qiubai, possessing technological methods unknown to Earth for God knows how many years.

Using genetic cloning technology to create a humanoid organism and fabricate its origin is not entirely impossible!

Of course…

This possibility is relatively low.

After all, the opponent’s style of action is totally different from the sleazy and despicable White Mane Star people.

That kind of reckless, domineering, megalomaniac demeanor…

Is not something easily mimicked.

Secondly, the red-haired youth who called himself Zhang Kuang, was extremely powerful!

More than half a month had passed since the Demon Mountain catastrophe, and during this period, Su Qiangwei had not slacked off a single day. She had been diligently training her abilities, experimenting with new combinations of powers, in hopes of further unlocking the potential of [Myriad Transformations].

Even someone like Ma Ran admitted she progressed rapidly, growing much stronger compared to before.

Yet…

From Zhang Kuang, Su Qiangwei sensed a forceful pressure.

If the Sword Master is the cold ruler, carrying the burden of his people and looking down on all beings,

Then…

Zhang Kuang is a bloodthirsty marauder.

He acts on impulse, treating all life as insignificant, the kind who, in pursuit of his own freedom, makes sure no one else lives peacefully!

After all, an “absolutely free” person brings nothing beneficial to any civilized society!

Even without any murderous intent, Su Qiangwei could feel a dense, almost solid, bloody aura emanating from Zhang Kuang!

One wonders how many fierce battles he had endured to cultivate such momentum.

To be honest, just standing afar and confronting Zhang Kuang, Su Qiangwei could clearly perceive that wild and tyrannical presence.

Under such momentum suppression, few could hold their ground.

Lastly…

Unifying Cangming Star?

Would Lin Qiubai agree?

No matter how one thinks of it, Su Qiangwei found it absurd.

“The Sword Master has been in seclusion for more than a hundred years now.”

Zhang Kuang observed Su Qiangwei for a while, seemingly sensing her misgivings, and smiled as he said, “The Seven Vortex Sword Sect has long been split.”

“The age where one person could reign supreme over an entire era is over.”

“Before I emerged, it was an era where various philosophies flourished, and all schools of thought contended!”

“From you all, I can see traces of the Seven Jackson Sect’s seven branches and ten schools.”

“It’s the legacy left by Lin Qiubai…”

“Coming to Earth was indeed the right decision!”

There was no need to elaborate too much.

Just by observing Zhang Kuang’s uncontrollable emotions, nearly boiling with battle intent, it was clear he came from Cangming Star to have a bout with the Sword Master.

“The flow of time on Double Star really is different.”

In the crowd, Wan Haihao caressed the sword at his waist, eyes flickering: “Has it really been over a hundred years on Cangming Star?”

“Sword Master… I wonder if he still remembers me…”

Though weighed down with many questions, Wan Haihao did not step forward to directly ask.

Right now, there’s no atmosphere of “friendly exchange,” and acting rashly might lead to unbearable consequences.

Su Qiangwei wasn’t as concerned as he was.

The girl took a deep breath, quickly adjusted her mindset, looked at the red-haired youth from beyond the sky, and as if chatting casually, said, “Mozi…”

“This title sounds a bit like Holy Son, Holy Maiden, but in reality, it should be akin to titles like Confucius, Mozi, or Laozi.”

“Ah, by the way, you just said…”

“You want to challenge Lin Qiubai? So confident?”

“What if you can’t defeat him and get killed, what then?”

Zhang Kuang appeared relaxed, looking totally at ease: “Confident? Why would I need such a thing?”

“I dominated an era, the Sword Master did too.”

“Who dares claim they’ll definitely win before truly fighting?

“I came to challenge Lin Qiubai just to have a fight with him, that’s all, not to determine victory, superiority, who lives, or who dies—the result doesn’t matter.”

“You must understand…”

“The fight itself is the greatest romance for men!”

“As for getting killed…”

“Hahahaha!”

“In life, it’s hard to escape the cycle of life and death.”

“I, Zhang Kuang, do not seek Longevity and Vision, only to fight all the heroes of the world!”

“Dying in battle is, for me, the best ending!”

An almost tangible wild aura accompanied Zhang Kuang’s words, sweeping over them.

Su Qiangwei was startled, finally understanding how the title “Mozi” came about.

This guy is a battle fanatic with battle intent and carnage flowing through his veins!

How wicked!

How demonic!

His worldview is completely different from ordinary people; he’s practically a lunatic!

One wonders, during the hundred years of Lin Qiubai’s disappearance, whether any “Renowned and Righteous Sects” arose on Cangming Star.

If they did, someone like Zhang Kuang would probably be routinely yelled at, “You need not talk about the principles of the martial world with such demonic entities! We, the righteous gentlemen, should band together and attack!”

Back to the main point.

Saying the Sword Master “disappeared” isn’t entirely accurate either.

From Zhang Kuang’s few words, Su Qiangwei could infer a few things—after Lin Qiubai returned, the Cangming Star’s little ice age quickly came to an end, and the Human Race began to flourish.

Otherwise, why would there be an era where various schools flourish?

The blossoming of all flowers also requires a material foundation!

So, Lin Qiubai was probably merely in hibernation, or in a state of semi-slumber, resting and recuperating while quietly aiding in the Human Race’s development, right?

It’s just, one wonders how exactly the Sword Master managed all this…

“So, your aim is to find Lin Qiubai?”

Su Qiangwei hesitated for a while, ultimately deciding to tell the other the truth: “The Sword Master already returned half a month ago.”

“There’s nothing you are looking for on Earth.”

A lawless person like Mozi, the best outcome for everyone is for him to return to wherever he came from.

Although Zhang Kuang appeared very strong, Su Qiangwei didn’t think he would be a match for Lin Qiubai.

After all…

Before breaking through, even in a disabled state, Lin Qiubai was a Luxurious Figure with Sword Qi shining over 200 miles.

If they truly fought, Zhang Kuang might be pierced by ten thousand swords before even laying a hand on him, right?

“Returned to Cangming Star?”

Mozi raised an eyebrow, showing some displeasure: “Just missed him…”

After a while, he tilted his head, suppressed the corners of his lips, attempting not to smile like a fierce dog, appearing to make an effort to show goodwill: “Without my gun, my strength is only two or three-tenths.”

“So…”

“The matter with the Sword Master must be postponed.”

“The urgent task now is to find my gun.”

“I’m asking for your help!”

Su Qiangwei was dumbfounded.

Why was Zhang Kuang suddenly saying this?

He doesn’t possibly want us to help him find it, does he?

Where’s his face?

Does this person have no shame?
